tribute to tho memory of our patriot dead and although written for a special occa sion it cannot fail to appeal to the hearts of all who have friends before them in a better world : . col dkming's address mr commander and comrades : â€” we arc here to inaugurate no novel ceremonj but to revive an ancient one which transmitted from the ear liest ages by roman grecian teuto nic and english example bas de scended not entirely obsolete even to our own times and our own coun tr no one can be more^.conscious than myself of the powerlessness of mere words to awaken the sensibili ties bofitting this floral offering to tho memories of our heroic dead ; such sensibilities must be evoked by the spontaneous suggestions of your own hearts flowers are natural tributes of sor row emblems of affection testimoni als of remembrance we deck with them the altarÃŸ of our religion ; we fjarlard with them the bride of our choice we encircle with them the cradle of our latest born ; we gar nish with them tho sanctuaries of horne why should we not scatter them on tho grave of the loved and losr and invest even tho cold sepul chre with faithful symbols of hope and immortality to the living warriors who return to us scathed or unscathed from the perilous edge of battle we bavo ten thousand ways of manifesting our af fection and gratitude ; wo may grasp them by tho hand ; wo may embrace them in our arms ; wo may enfold them to our bosoms wo may enrich and adorn their lives with our munif icence ; wo may rear for them pala ces and hospitals ; wo may decorate them with honors and office wo may elevate them to a position so exalted that they will command tho respect and veneration of all mankind all this and more with fervid hearts with generous hands wo may do for tho living but what for tho dead ! what for tho dead ! what for these youthful martyrs bo recently filled to overflowing with vigorous and san guinc life with affections aspirations hopes yearnings infinite capacities heaven-soaring thoughts and fancies instantly sent to lie in colti obstruction and to rot this sensible warm motion t become a kneaded clod " what for them ! o what for them ! in behalf of these departed comrades how impotent how insignificant are all tho resources of affection and gra titudo xext to that immortality which conveys to us conscious per sonal existence in tho assembly of the just made perfect no boon is more coveted by the thoughtful mind than that which insures us an everlasting cxistenco in the memory of our fel low men to those of our comrades who have been stationed around these holy acresâ€”our advance guard here to awaft the reveille which shall call them and us to the last review wo can offer nothing but this remember if my voice could summon one of them visibly into your presence and with tears in my eyes and heart up on my lipp i should ask him it your name what what o faithful soldier can can wo do for thee ? how could he respond to my invocation but by murmuring remember me what was tho parting injunction of divine wisdom and forecast incarnated in i mary's son but this do in reraem brancoofme and even since ho has ascended to the bosom of hia father md been crowned with tho unalloyed fruition of that blessed and glorious realm lie ha constantly ratified by his benediction the me morial of himself which he instituted upon earth thus suggesting to us tho comforting assurance that a perma nent place in the memory of mortal may not bo unacceptable to that ex panded intelligence which our im mortal martyrs may have attained in heaven since than my comrades we can tender to theso departed benefactors who have immolated themselves that we may live and thrive and exult and glorify nothing but remembrance let us give them that

us inaugurate a holi day which with every returning ppring when tho earth itself is re awakening into life when theso flowers whose roots were buried in dishonor are rising again in glory shall withdraw us from the haunts of busy men to meditation with these silent companions to scatter with prodigal hand upon their graves these significantmementoes of sorrow af fection re ni cm bra nee to

states that some eight months ago mr t b ma son of that city ascertained that he lad a cancer on his face the size ef a pin it was cut out by dr wolcot and the wound partially healed sub sequently it grew again and while he was at cincinnati on business it attained the size of a hickory nut he remained thero since christmas under treatment and is now perfectly cured the process is this : a pieco of sticking plaster was put over the cancer with a circular piece cut out of the center a little larger than the cancer so that cancer and a small circular rim of the healthy skin next to it were exposed then a plaster made a chloride of zinc blood root and wheat flour was spread on a piece of muslin the size of this circular opening and applied to the cancer for twenty-four hours on removing it the cancer will be found burnt into and appear of the color and hardness of an old shoe sole and the circular rim outside of it will appear while and parboiled as if scalded by a hot stream the wound is now dressed and the outside rim soon separates and the cancer comes out in a hard lump and the cancer heals up the plaster kills the cancer so that it sloughs out like dead flesh and never grows in again tho remedy was discovered by dr fell of london and has been used by him for six or eight 3*ears with unfailing success and not a case has been known of tho reappearance of tho cancer when this remedy has been applied .â€”Â»Â«Â«Â«.Â»â– tiik plains so mo people have seemed to doubt if anything but buf falo grass will grow on the plains in to which this road penetrates a great

they need less care than on these lands this grass is perennial it furnishes superior pasturago winter and summer in summer there are the fresh shoots in winter grass cur ed into hay excelling any

lord's supper to in dicato judaa iscariot by the salt-ccl ler knocked over accidentally by his arm salt was used in sacrifice by tho greeks and romans and also by the jows and is still made use of in baptism by the roman catholic cler gy it was an emblem of purity and of the sanctifying influence on others of a holy life hence our lord tells his disciples you are the salt of the earth tbe salt being spilt after it was placed on the head of the victim was considered a bad omen being supposed to signify that the sa crifice was not accepted and hence tho euppcrstition when we say of a shiftless fellow that be does not earn his salt we unconsciously al lude to an ancient custom among the romans among them a man was said to bo in possession of a salar who had his s&larium his allow
